meet the team
Kelsey Broussard, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I obtained my Bachelor of science degree in Psychology with a minor in Modern Dance through the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. i continued my studies and completed the Master of arts program in Clinical Psychology at Texas Southern University.
i have previous experience providing therapy and psychological evaluations for all ages, and have provided clinical services with children in the CPS system. i continue to take a collaborative approach with clients through implementation of evidence-based techniques that include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Positive Psychotherapy.
Within Pragma wellness, i also use somatic-based therapies including: Breath Work, Sensation Awareness, and Grounding Techniques. These approaches may also be used in combination with the following exercise modalities: Pilates, Stretch Therapy, Resistance Training, and Dance. my offerings are held in an environment that simulates being in nature and have helped clients release trauma, create a closer/healthier awareness of their bodies, and maintain positive relationships with others.
outside the therapy room, you will most likely find me exploring the outdoors with my dog- leonidas- whether we are walking a trail, walking along the bayou, or soaking up some sun. nature helps me feel grounded, and i bring that energy into how i approach work and life.
i am passionate about live music, local art, and supporting the creative heartbeat of the city. i love being around expression and connection. creativity is a part of who i am- i have a background in dance, music, and writing. i am always looking for new ways to move, create, or be inspired.
another big part of my life is travel and cultural exploration. i love learning how people around the world make meaning, connect, and heal.
i believe this world is full of movement, music, curiosity, connection, and joy- and i strive to embody all of that, while allowing it to deeply inform the care i offer my clients.
i would be honored to have the opportunity to witness your reintegration into authenticity and wellness.
leonidas, certified therapy assistant dog (in training)
leonidas, affectionately referred to as, “leo”, is the beloved canine companion and soon-to-be certified therapy assistant at pragma wellness. as a therapy dog, his role will be to provide emotional support, comfort, and a calming presence during sessions. certified therapy dogs are trained to work alongside mental health professionals to help reduce stress, promote a sense of safety, and support emotional regulation in clients of all ages.
in the office, leo brings a soothing energy, playful spirit, and a whole lot of love. he may greet you with a gentle tail wag, curl up nearby during a session, or simply offer his quiet, steady presence when words feel hard to find.
outside of the office, leo is a true adventurer at heart. he loves exploring trails along buffalo bayou, playing fetch, swimming, and soaking up every second of cuddle time he can get. his expressive face and goofy antics never fail to bring a smile- and he truly has endless love to give.
leo is excited to be part of your healing journey and can’t wait to meet you!
